Gotham Girls was a web series produced by Warner Bros. from 2000 to 2002 about the women of Gotham City. Episodes starred Harley Quinn, Poison Ivy, Batgirl and Catwoman in short stories of varying length about the daily lives of the characters.
The series lasted for three seasons (10 episodes each), with each episode released month-by-month. As a Flash-based show, the animation differs significantly from most DCAU shows. In addition, the writing and storytelling often place considerably less emphasis on realism, especially compared to its cousins Batman: The Animated Series and The New Batman Adventures, often favoring a more "cartoonish" approach.
While the first two seasons featured primarily comedic, stand-alone episodes, the third season attempted to make the show more serious. These episodes linked directly to Batman & Mr. Freeze: SubZero. Dropping the magician Zatanna from its lineup and adding a host of new characters to the cast, including Detective Renee Montoya, each episode from this series tied into the next, forming a collective thirty-minute whodunit.
The series finale, "Cold Hands, Cold Heart", aired in 2002, wrapping up the mystery and ending the website. GothamGirls.com remains online as an archive of the series, but the visible website only links to the animations for Series 3.
The complete series is available on DVD as extras on the Birds of Prey television series box set.
